Andros Townsend: 'Conditions and pitch will make it tough against Tromso IL'

Tottenham Hotspur winger Andros Townsend has admitted that the cold weather and artificial pitch away to Tromso IL will make it tough for him and his teammates.

Townsend said, however, that there was enough professionalism within the group for the win that would guarantee first place in Europa League Group K.

"I think we've all dealt with it before - we've been out to places like Russia so we know how cold it's going to be," Townsend told the club's official website.

"Their synthetic pitch is the main worry but we're footballers, we're all professionals so it's something that we can deal with and hopefully we can get the three points."

Spurs have won all four of their Europa League games so far.
